Police have made an arrest for the murder of NFL player Darrent Williams.

Police have charged a suspect in the drive-by shooting death of Denver Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams, who was gunned down on New Year’s Day 2007. Willie D. Clark, 25, was indicted Wednesday on 39 counts, including first degree murder, attempted murder, assault, crimes of violence and a weapons violation, Denver District Attorney Mitch Morrissey told the Associated Press. Clark is in federal custody in a separate case. He was long considered a “person of interest” in Williams’ slaying but is the first suspect to be indicted. Williams, a former Oklahoma State standout, was 24 yrs. old when he was shot and killed while riding in a rented limousine early on Jan. 1, 2007, after leaving the Safari Club - a Denver nightspot.

The Williams Family can now put some closure to this long ordeal. We really hope that murderer, Willie, was doing it very big at clubs all over Denver because with those 39 counts, it is highly unlikely he will ever be able to go to a club again, let alone stay outside of a cell past 8:30pm.
